Via Kevin Drum, the hottest story of the day: Here’s your spine-tingling rumor of the day, straight from Robert Moynihan of Inside the Vatican. He claims that gay marriage martyr Kim Davis met with Pope Francis last Thursday at the Vatican embassy in Washington DC, just before he left for New York City: “The Pope spoke…
So the pope met with Kim Davis
So far there is no reason to believe that this meeting happened as claimed.
None whatsoever.
Good as this pope is, he’s even more hopeless on the subject of women.
All he’s said about gays is that he’s against marrying them. Women aren’t supposed to have any say about their own lives or bodies. I’m sorry, but I just can’t see how living together without the sanction of the church is so much worse than dying in forced childbirth. (Childbirth is an order of magnitude more dangerous than abortion.)
But it’s the gay marriage part which makes people understand that the pope is leaving out a whole group of people from human rights.
I wonder what it’s going to take for people to see that women are really and truly and actually human beings.
Well I hope it’s only a rumor. Otherwise, I’m afraid Pope Frank drops a few hundred points in my popularity poll.
Except the Vatican confirmed it.
